Centurian Back in the News

McGeorge Bundy, former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, is mediating a dispute over admitting women to an East Coast all-male social club, the New York Times reported last week.

The Century Association, which is housed in a three story townhouse on New York's West 43rd St., is a watering hole for 1900 of the city's prominent artists and authors.

Bundy, a New York University professor who was national security advisor during the Kennedy Administration, is serving as the chairman of a committee reconsidering the club decision in favor of admitting women. Bundy's committee could recommend that the 139-year old social organization make the necessary financial changes to avoid being held under the law.

"We have to ask ourselves a broad set of questions about what kind of club the Century would be if it met the requirements of the law in some other way," Bundy told the New York Times.
